A couple career journeymen teamed to claim the title last weekend at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. It could be said Scott Piercy (four career wins) and Billy Horschel (five) are journeymen with a difference -- they've won out there. Horschel, in particular, has a big star by … [Read more...]
Golf for Scotty G
Golf for Scotty G -- We do what we can, which isn't much, but we can play golf, and we will, at a little benefit tournament April 28 at Capitol City Golf Club in Lacey, Wash. The forecast calls for a lot of kind and generous people stepping up for our friend Scott Geist, who's up against … [Read more...]
It’s problematic
They say "problematic" is a trending word and concept in our culture of the now. I think it's supposed to call out how conflicted we feel about a good movie by a director who's a dirtbag with women, or the public achievements of a civil rights leader who does his abusing in private. Nobody … [Read more...]

Gather 'round to hear this tale of a fabulous charity auction, a celebration of wealth, beauty and celebrity, a gathering of spirits in a setting so grand and dazzling as to bring tears to your eyes.

Major ramifications
Leave it to the women, demonstrably more clever in all things than men in general, to put on the first major of the professional goffin' season.

With the biggest and bling-iest show of the movie awards season coming up Sunday, it seems only right and fitting (like a 48 extra-long green jacket on Justin Thomas) to offer a look at some of the golf course industry's annual awards, The Grainys, from the January issue of the trade mag … [Read more...]
Back on the horse
Tom Hoge missed putts on the 16th, 17th and 18th holes Sunday in Honolulu, and all they did was lose him a golf tournament. Hoge, the 54-hole leader at the Sony Open, finished a shot out of a playoff -- close, sliver close, to his first PGA Tour victory. Hoge had a one-stroke lead heading to … [Read more...]
Prep work
So I wonder, then, if I'm not old, why all I talk about are "procedures," friends who are sick, and incarcerating or otherwise caring for our parents prior to burying them. It's enough to make a guy hide his head ... preferably, if it came to that, in a greenside bunker of fine white sand in … [Read more...]
